Here is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video....

It was a frigid morning all across the region today. Many Piedmont spots hit the teens with some mountain spots in the single digits. Off to our west, it was very cold through the Deep South and Lower Mississippi Valley. Some places in Mississippi hit single digits!

However, a gradual moderating trend will continue through the weekend with 50s for highs tomorrow and lower 60s Sunday. Both days will feature plenty of sun.

Next week...

A much quieter, much milder week is on tap next week compared to most of the winter. Highs most days will surge well up into the 60s, and I still think most locations will manage to top 70 by the end of the week.

Lots of questions as to whether or not this is the end of cold weather for the season. It is a little early to say that....I think at some point, we end up in cold air again...I just don't have a feel for when yet. And of course, we have made a habit recently of getting snow in March, so we shall see.
